These were really tasty. I've never had a real scotch egg, but we liked these!
8 eggs
1 lb ground lamb or pork sausage
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup coconut flour
1 tsp onion powder, OR other spice
1/4 cup coconut oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place eggs in saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let eggs sit in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, immediately rinse with cold water, cool and peel.
Flatten the sausage and make a patty to surround each egg. Coat the sausage with beaten egg. Roll in coconut flour and onion powder mixture to cover evenly. In deep fryer, heat coconut oil to 375 degrees F. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes.

I don't want to creep you out with how much Tracey and I love you, but it's things like this that BLOW MY MIND.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted but never had a scotch egg, and it looks like I'm going to be forcing Tracey to make these for me next time I visit her in Ohio.
I noticed a big change from this recipe to the one that appears in the Low Carbing Among Friends cookbook. I was wondering if the 1/4 c, coconut oil called for in the book (pg 89) is the actual amount used for frying the scotch eggs? I love scotch eggs and really want to try but not sure which recipe to go with. Aldo, i have never used cocunut oil before. What form does it actually come in? Is it a solid like shortening that you melt then measure. Thanks for your help. I have really like all of your recipes that I have made.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I had improved the recipe for the cookbook. I updated the above to match. Thanks! :)
